This project will develop an extensible Macintosh Evidence Gathering and Analysis tool suite for investigators to assess and collect data on dual-boot Mac systems, and to gather and analyze forensically-relevant data specific to Mac OS X. MEGA will serve law enforcement and NIJ by allowing an investigator to quickly assess the operating systems installed on a Mac OS X disk image or machine, including the last boot time and other information for each, in a forensically-sound manner. ca/ncf
